What are you using for your panel lines?

pencil, lol

Pencil. Cool. It really works well. Nice clean buildup and the panels are really 'tight'.

Do you plan to weather this at all? Looks like there's still decals to do etc...

Pencil definitely works. Use it for the same thing myself.
Looking forward to seeing the decals

Geez, that looks great for your second model. Really great. Nifty trick with the pencil. Maybe you'll be teaching us all a few thing too!! Keep up the good work.

Don't knock yourself. Pencil is totally legit for doing detail work.

It looks great so far. I'd gloss coat it and get the decals on. ;D

Re: My Second Model-In progress

I haven't come across pencil panel lines in some times... but it always worked for a Polish friend of mine!

Keep up the good work ! don't forget to Gloss coat your model before Decals... It will prevent "Silvering" ! then a nice Dull or semi gloss to finish it off !!! depending on the end result you are after !

Please keep posting pictures... as a second build ! it is Darn good !

Looking forward to your next project !

Welcome aboard !

Re: My Second Model-In progress

Just brushed on some future, what are some other things i can use as a finish, and is there are any in like a spray can? time for some decals

Re: My Second Model-In progress

Most of the major manufacturers offer clear coats in spray form.
Matte (flat), satin (semi-gloss), and gloss finishes

Its done im thrilled with how this kit turned out

 

[ShutterAce]

Really nice! ;D

Next time you do decals and they are dry give them a sealer coat of Future over the top,helps to blend in the decal edges.

Looks good guy
